Sold in Japan as Poison Giraffe, this Defense Type first appeared inside the Attack and Defense Set before Hasbro sold it on its own. The Zurafa Face Bolt depicts a Qilin, the hooved, fire-wreathed creature of East Asian legend, printed here in green with the word GIRAFFE across it, set above the Poison Fusion Wheel, a Shield 130 Track and a Metal Ball tip.

The competitive view

Poison Giraffe S130MB, renamed Poison Zurafa by Hasbro, is a Metal Fight Beyblade whose Metal Wheel and Track are both judged largely uncompetitive, though its S130 Track and MB Bottom found real defensive and attacking niche uses.

Poison's protrusions are too narrow for real Smash Attack yet still cause high recoil, and its light weight makes it easy to knock out, leaving it essentially no competitive role; S130 is too light for Defense against BD145/GB145 but adds useful weight to Attack builds without blocking contact points, e.g. MF-H Flash Escolpio/Pisces/Orion S130RF; MB offers a wide, low-friction, heavy tip good for endurance, used in the Balance combo MF-H Duo Aquario/Cancer/Cygnus 230MB and formerly in the once-dominant UK Defense combo Basalt ___ BD145MB, now outclassed.

Verdict as the draft gives it: The article concludes the Beyblade is a convenient way to get S130 and MB, but since those parts are obtainable elsewhere, it should only be bought for collection purposes.

Giraffe Clear Wheel: 2.8 grams, originally transparent yellow-green with orange details; this release clear white with black details
Poison Metal Wheel: fifteen rectangular protrusions about 4 mm apart at the widest point, painted deep purple in this release
S130 Track: 3.3 grams, plastic, dark grey in this release, horizontal 8-armed disk
MB Bottom: a Ball-type tip made entirely of metal, the third-heaviest tip at the time
